Tentative Agreement Washington Oct A tentative agreement dividing the waters of the Colorado among the seven states through which that river flows has been reached ending a fight of decades over rijjhfs to Colorado river waters For many years irrigation and power projects along the Colorado have been at a standstill due to the inability of the states to agree as to each commonwealth's share to waters President Hardirtg a year ago appointed a commission headed by Secretary Hoover to negotiate treaties between the seven states concerned to end deadlocks court salts and disputes between them Negotiations at the first three peace conferences failed Within the last month the question has been approached fcom an entirely new apgle Instead of basing claims on potential acreage of unclaimed lands which need water in i each state it is now proposed to divide the waters of the Colorado into two equal parts 'where the river crosses the Arizona-Utah line This proposal to which plenipotentiaries of idl the states have agreed1 tentatively pending submission of the treaty in their constituents surmounts obstacles In the way of a settlement on an acreage basis The upper states are not ready to proceed with reclamation schemes For that reason they objected to a combination 1 enterprise with the other states This plan reserves their share of Water for future use but enables the three lower states to go ahead with projects long hejd up Additional treaties between the lowest states California Nevada and Arizona will determine each share to their Joint 50 per cent Good for
